‘Carousel Mix’ Hummingbird Foxglove Seeds

Carousel Mix gathers soft foxglove color onto sturdy 3–3½-foot spires. Lavender, pink, purple, and white bells are freckled within, creating a pastel procession that bumblebees and hummingbirds explore flower by flower.

Unlike many foxgloves, Carousel can bloom the first year when started early. A midsummer sowing supplies plants for the following spring, and mature plants often self-sow to keep the carousel turning.
